BVCA Private Equity Map

Private equity and venture capital play a key role in the British economy.
Over the last five years £33bn has been invested in over 4,500 UK companies.
In 2012 alone £5.7bn was invested in over 800 businesses, employing the equivalent
of around 130,000 full time jobs. Around 90% of these were small and medium-sized
enterprises, a crucial component of economic health.

Many are unfamiliar with the work of private equity and venture capital and its
impact in their local community. To help address this the BVCA has produced the
Private Equity Map to demonstrate the industry’s role in supporting businesses across the country.

This map is constantly updated. Please contact communications@bvca.co.uk if you have any comments or questions. If you require further information about private
equity and venture capital in the UK please head to the BVCA website here.

Methodology

We track and regularly update investment information as supplied by our members covering Investor-backed company sites across the UK.

Investor-backed companies were matched up with the Companies House database and site addresses were matched to Parliamentary Constituencies using the ONS Postcode database and the Ordnance Survey Boundary-Line product.

Historical turnover and employment information was then taken from Companies House accounts filings. In cases where investments were made in Investor-backed companies with multiple sites, the declared revenue and employees of those companies were shared equally amongst the company's sites

We are constantly updating the details of our members’ investor-backed companies. If you believe that any companies are missing or any details are incorrect, please contact us here.
